Dig into the comments on the NYT article, and you find this gem, LOL!

“I am a white mother to a black child. The everyday racism of her grammar school is utterly shocking. The teachers are unconscious about their years of bias — they call on white boys most, then Asian girls and boys, then white girls, then brown kids — boys before girls. This has been the pattern since kindergarten. Almost all of the kids of color are sent to “resource room,” where they are given candy and video games while the rest of the class works on math. (Some boys from India escape this fate). There is one African-American teacher (a woman)
in a school with 600 kids. The “selection” for academic excellence begins early. It is a scandal.”
Maybe she should have said black looking. Statistically children get their brains from their mother, their ambition from their father. That explains Barky. Half-blacks with a white mother do better academically than half-blacks with a white father. I'm surprised affirmative action programs don't consider that. Half-blacks with a white mother don't actually need special treatment. They simply game the system.
